Before hurricane Sandy, the my family lived across the street at 117 New York Av. Bob was our family's extra key keeper for many years and looked after our widowed Mom Margaret. He and Peggy were always there for us..our family is blessed that he touched our lives...what a special, caring, resourceful man God sent us to be our neighbor on good old New York Av. We have special memories or living there, and knowing Bob was there made it that more special. Our condolences on your loss, but what a special man who touched so many lives. God bless you all.
